we just had an amazing harmonic singing session for the good part of an hour. i feel all elated and relaxed now, like i just did yoga or smoked a big fatty.
what started out as just being silly in the kitchen got more serious when we realized we really enjoyed doing this, so we went into the studio and put on Alvin Lucier's Still And Moving Lines Of Silence In Families Of Hyperbolas, which is a 2CD of pure tones made with single instruments, and we tried to match the pitch of the steady drones with our voices, sitting cross legged on the floor, like
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
or
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
really fucking amazing when 2 or all 3 droned match up, and everything in the room is just.............. vibrating............. !!! if i had hair it would have been standing up... at times it felt like we were levitating.
highly recommended for everyone!
anyone else done this? been a part of a singing circle?
i think Pauline Oliveros regularly holds these improvised singing circle things open for all to join, whether you are professional or amateur.
